Madhu Das

Madhu Das (India) in his practice is primarily concerned with the projection of identity onto the social and natural world and the way in which the two are woven together in the space. In his work, the human body often establishes an improvisational relationship with objects and sculptural elements in the space. His work involves spaces, in both a narrative sense and as a site of memory, to re-narrate historical events as a way of plotting connections between the particular and the universal. Madhu adapts aspects of material culture and uses methods from anthropology and allegorical fiction as conceptual tool, exploring linguistic devices and imagery with a sense of irony and paradox.
